It’s amazing the difference in speed this small data journey can have. With full-fibre broadband you can expect to receive speeds of 1Gb+. C+ optics alongside FEC produce a reach of 58km on a 4:1 split. The other 40km comes from the 10G link between the subtended OLT and the headend.

Connect to your router using an Ethernet (wired) connection and switch off the Wi-Fi on your computer. If the speed test results are okay when you're using the cable, it could be the Wi-Fi that's causing the issues Openreach is required to keep their powered copper wire services to the house until such a time that 80% of a brown field housing estate gets FTTP digital phone service. Evidently it is now only a "recommendation" for retail ISP full fibre to provide UninterruptiblePower Supply (UPS) to the Openreach small ONT modem and their ISP Hub. Openreach currently only has a legal requirement to retain externally powered copper wire services. Openreach has only installed their small ONT modem without UPS to our house. Unfortunately FTTdp is not full-fibre to the home. Ut's usually a version of FTTH (Fibre To The Hub). Historically this would then have enabled a G-Fast connection to the home, but this is increasingly uncommon, and so would usually mean VDSL2 the same as FTTC, but with the connection being shorter most users should get 70Mbps+. GPON provisioning is not standardised. Operators do it in their own proprietary way so Openreach don’t mix and match vendors across the PON. To do so complicates provisioning and loses them a bunch of visibility, management and telemetry. We are in a rural area where many properties are fed with mains power and traditional copper phone lines on the same pole, with the Openreach cable typically about 50 cm or so below the power cable.

PORT 1: Here you plug in an Ethernet cable that runs to your BT Hub. Some modems have multiple ports. This doesn’t mean we can’t do anything though. We’re always looking at ways to overcome these limitations. I don't know what " brown field housing estates" are, I just thought they were housing build on previouslyused commercialland. however the plan is definitelyto phase out most of the copper and all the PSTN (public switched telephone network) by 2025. Aside from the well-publicised debate around Huawei kit, what is the benefit for OR moving to Nokia ONTs given how much they have invested in Huawei kit. Wont they lose access to things like ONT diagnostic info? Due to the complex nature of the network our plans occasionally change. For a variety of reasons this can cause some areas to be removed from their expected fibre roll out.

Frequently asked questions

For those in an area outside of Openreach’s own rollout plans, or the plans of other companies and subsidised projects, the Fibre Community Partnership (FCP) programme exists. Residents and businesses who are interested in gaining access to Ultrafast Full Fibre can enter their postcode to get the ball rolling on a customised installation plan. It may be a minuscule number but the long tail of properties that cannot be served by an copper product as they too far from anything do need some impressive fibre lengths. how the cabinet will look – we have to take into account its visual impact in some places, for example conservation areas
